Hondo come-back in Niedersachsen

Danilo Hondo (Lamonta) has received the permission to return to racing form the governing body of cycling, UCI, on Tuesday, April 18. The German sprinter, after being suspended form competition because of a positive doping result for Carphedon in March 2005, will thus represent his new team, Continental outfit Lamonta, at the Internationale Niedersachsen-Rundfahrt stage race in Germany, beginning on April 19. An earlier come-back in Rund um Köln on Easter Monday had not been possible because of UCI rules on team changes.
